😈 Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 — Who’s Back, Who’s New, and What’s the Tea?
The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen isn’t done yet — and neither is his very complicated squad.
Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again is coming back for Season 2, and the confirmed cast list just dropped a whole buffet of buzzworthy returns, shocking resurrections, and spicy new faces. If you thought Season 1 had drama, wait till you see who’s pulling up for round two. Let’s break down who’s IN, who’s BACK, and what it means for the MCU’s darkest lawyer.
Public Visionary
🧑⚖️ Back in the Suit: Matt, Karen, Foggy & More
Let’s start with the obvious: Charlie Cox is back as Matt Murdock/Daredevil. No surprise there — it’s literally his show. But what is surprising? The return of some Day 1 faves we thought were gone for good.
✨ Deborah Ann Woll is back as Karen Page — and fans are already bracing for emotional damage.
✨ Elden Henson returns as Foggy Nelson… even though his character died in Season 1. Multiverse moment? Flashback fever? No one’s telling yet.
✨ Vincent D’Onofrio returns as Kingpin, but with a plot twist: he’s now the mayor of NYC. He’s swapping fists for political fists — and it’s giving “Thanos in a suit” energy.
✨ Wilson Bethel is suiting up again as Bullseye. Let the chaos begin.
Also back in action:
- Michael Gandolfini as Daniel Blake (Kingpin’s protégé — sus)
- Genneya Walton as BB Urich (yes, that Urich family)
- Clark Johnson as Cherry, a retired NYPD officer who’s team Daredevil now
🆕 Newbies on Deck
The cast isn’t just banking on nostalgia — Marvel’s sprinkling in some fresh blood too.
👀 Matthew Lillard (yes, Scream’s OG slasher king) and Lili Taylor (critically acclaimed queen of literally everything) are joining in undisclosed roles. Rumor has it Taylor may be playing a political rival to Fisk — so expect fireworks.
👥 Plus a few mystery names like Sydney Parra, Annie Parisse, and James Armstrong are confirmed but with zero deets. Marvel loves a cryptic cameo.

🎬 Behind the Scenes: What’s Cookin’
The show is back under the direction of Dario Scardapane, with Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (from LokiSeason 2) directing a big chunk of the season. Filming started in February 2025 and wraps in July — so don’t hold your breath for a 2025 release.
We’re looking at an early-to-mid 2026 premiere on Disney+, with eight episodes locked in.
🧩 Theories, Flashbacks & Plot Twists
Here’s what fans are buzzing about:
- Foggy’s return could mean multiverse madness, time jumps, or even retcons (wouldn’t be the first).
- Kingpin’s mayor arc is straight out of the comics — and it sets up a major chess match for Matt.
- With Bullseye back, the show could be heading into darker, more violent territory.
- And let’s not forget Daredevil is still deeply entangled in the broader MCU. Could we get cameos? (Hi, Echo. Hi, Spider-Man.)
📣 Final Word: Get Hyped, Hunters
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is shaping up to be darker, twistier, and way more ambitious than anyone expected. Between shocking cast returns, mysterious new roles, and the Kingpin’s political glow-up, the stakes are higher than ever.
